Ingredients

For The Lemon Dressing
  • ⅓ cup Miso paste
  • 2.5 tbs rice vinegar
  • ⅓ cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
For The Bowls
  • 1 tbs oil
  • 4 rolls soba noodles (buckwheat noodles)
  • 2 cups broccoli chopped
  • 1 cup edamame frozen & shelled
  • 3 carrots carrots
  • 2 green onions
Toppins
  • ⅓ cup hemp hearts
  • 1 tbs lemon zest optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Make the sauce by combining everything into a mini food processor until smooth.
  2. Do your prep. Chop the broccoli into small florets and julienne the carrots. Get your water started for the noodles (add a dash of salt to the water to avoid boiling over).
  3. In a saucepan, heat 1 tbs olive oil over medium to high heat. Add in the carrots, edamame, and broccoli. Cover with a lid and cook 5-6 minutes until vegetables are somewhat tender (you still want a bit of crunch!).
  4. Cook the soba noodles as per the package and strain when finished. Pour one tablespoon of the sauce over the soba noodles so that they don't stick together.
  5. Divide the noodles into four bowls. Top the noodles with the vegetable mixture and then with the sauce.
  6. Finish by adding the hemp hearts, green onions, and lemon zest to each bowl.

Notes

  • It is best to julienne the carrots. Otherwise, they take longer than the broccoli and edamame to cook.

  • The noodles cook extremely fast and tend to boil over. As soon as you add them to the pot, turn the pot to low-medium and keep an eye on it. They will only take about four minutes

  • I suggest assembling the bowls individually. Placing everything into a skillet and tossing leaves the noodles as one big sticky ball.

  • Once drained, soba noodles stick together really quickly. This is why you want to pour some of the sauce over the noodles immediately.
  • Tahini can easily be subbed for miso paste if that's what you have on hand.
  • I use a light miso paste but know there are different varieties.
